Actually, we were talking about other manufacturers being jealous of Apples profits. I’m thinking that Samsung’s CEO isn’t going to be looking to trade places with Jobs anytime soon.

Considering performance, Samsung's Board of Directors might want to fire him and replace him with Steve Jobs... Looking at the results, Steve does a much better job based on the financials of the two firms:

Samsung Electronics

Revenue US$ 143.125 billion (2010)[3]
Net income US$  15.425 billion (2010)[4]
Profit             US$  12.683 billion (2010)
Total assets US$ 101.64 billion (2009)
Market Cap.         US$119.7 billion

Apple Inc.

Revenue US$ 65.23 billion (FY 2010)[2]
Net income US$ 18.39 billion (FY 2010)[2]
Profit          US$ 14.013 billion (FY 2010)[2]
Total assets US$ 75.18 billion (FY 2010)[2]
Market Cap.        US$307 billion

Maybe, as you said, if he was only having to market a handful of products, he’d could have afford to have a narrow focus like Jobs does. Instead, he’s busy running a company with 275k employees compared to one that has less than 50k.
